摘要:

天文地震测量可以推断出恒星的基本结构,例如恒星内部不同点的密度和声速。这提供了一个机会,以测试恒星演化理论,评估是否预测的结构与恒星的测量结构一致。到目前为止,这种逆分析仅应用于太阳和三颗类太阳主序星。在这里,我们将该技术扩展到次巨星分支上的恒星,并将其应用于开普勒任务中最具特征的次巨星之一HR 7322。混合振荡模式的观测有助于推断其惰性氦核、核燃烧氢壳层和辐射包层更深处的条件。我们发现,尽管模式频率的显着差异,该恒星的中心附近的结构并没有显着不同的预测结构。

英文摘要:

Asteroseismic measurements enable inferences of the underlying stellar structure, such as the density and the speed of sound at various points within the interior of the star. This provides an opportunity to test stellar evolution theory by assessing whether the predicted structure of a star agrees with the measured structure. Thus far, this kind of inverse analysis has only been applied to the Sun and three solar-like main-sequence stars. Here we extend the technique to stars on the subgiant branch, and apply it to one of the best-characterized subgiants of the Kepler mission, HR 7322. The observation of mixed oscillation modes in this star facilitates inferences of the conditions of its inert helium core, nuclear-burning hydrogen shell, and the deeper parts of its radiative envelope. We find that despite significant differences in the mode frequencies, the structure near to the center of this star does not differ significantly from the predicted structure.
